I had heard that this had happened, but before yesterday, my location in Cypress, Texas hadn't implemented it.

Yesterday, I walked in and got onto an elliptical and saw CNN in place of Fox News and next to it a show on Bravo where I was treated to two men making out!! I was glad the two 15 year old girls down the row were able to witness it.

I asked the sales guys and was told it was "corporate".

I may be at another gym soon. Does anyone here have any more info on why they are doing this?

Our local YMCA has about 5 TV’s in their big work out area. Every month there are about 5 members that complain that our YMCA dares to show Fox News on one of the channels. Well, our YMCA also will have CNN or MSNBC on.. so, pick a machine that is by the CNN TV and ignore Fox News!

My husband picks up extra hours at the YMCA and this last Saturday yet another member complained about Fox News being on the television that she was working out by. My husband changed the TV channel for that member... but then proceeded to put two other TV’s on Fox News.

It just seems like a joined effort by some to get the YMCA to completely stop offering Fox News in the gym area. It's very frustrating.

The manager at the all ladies gym I attend makes the decision regarding what is on the 4 televisions. So, two of them are on Fox News and the others I think are on the Oprah and Judge Judy networks! libby
